How is the Holy Spirit associated to Jesus?

Question

In what way is Jesus linked to the Holy Spirit?

Answer 1

Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit convicts of sin, while Jesus forgives it.
Both are a part of the Trinity (or Godhead).

Answer 2

God is a trinity of persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is not the same person as the Son; the Son is not the same person as the Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit is not the same person as Father. They are not three gods and not three beings. They are three distinct persons; yet, they are all the one God. Each has a will, can speak, can love, etc., and these are demonstrations of personhood. They are in absolute perfect harmony consisting of one substance. They are coeternal, coequal, and copowerful. If any one of the three were removed, there would be no God. (See also, "Another Look at the Trinity")
Jesus, the Son, is one person with two natures: Divine and Human. This is called the Hypostatic Union. The Holy Spirit is also divine in nature and is self aware, the third person of the Trinity.
There is, though, an apparent separation of some functions among the members of the Godhead. For example, the Father chooses who will be saved (Eph. 1:4); the Son redeems them (Eph. 1:7); and the Holy Spirit seals them, (Eph. 1:13).
A further point of clarification is that God is not one person, the Father, with Jesus as a creation and the Holy Spirit is a force (Jehovah's Witnesses). Neither is He one person who took three consecutive forms, i.e., the Father, became the Son, who became the Holy Spirit. Nor is God the divine nature of the Son (where Jesus had a human nature perceived as the Son and a divine nature perceived as the Father (Oneness theology). Nor is the Trinity an office held by three separate Gods (Mormonism).
The word "person" is used to describe the three members of the Godhead because the word "person" is appropriate. A person is self aware, can speak, love, hate, say "you," "yours," "me," "mine," etc. Each of the three persons in the Trinity demonstrate these qualities.
The chart below should help you to see how the doctrine of the Trinity is systematically derived from Scripture. The list is not exhaustive, only illustrative.
The first step is to establish the biblical doctrine that there is only one God. Then, you find that each of the persons is called God, each creates, each was involved in Jesus' resurrection, each indwells, etc. Therefore, God is one, but the one God is in three simultaneous persons. Please note that the idea of a composite unity is not a foreign concept to the Bible; after all, man and wife are said to be one flesh. The idea of a composite unity of persons is spoken of by God in Genesis (Gen. 2:24).

There is only one

Answer 3

Ahh...read up on the debates of the first centuries of the Church.
Christainity holds that there is One God. Jesus is "begotten, not made, and one in being with the Father." The Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father and the Son. He has spoken through the prophets."
Basically, the Holy Spirit is the form God takes in each us, right now..
If this sounds muddy, that may be why it has always been termed a Mystery.

Answer 4

Because of the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Answer 5

First, there is one God:
Deuteronomy 6:4
"Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!"

There is only one God, which Christians call the Trinity. There are three persons in the one entity that is God. Careful though, the word "Trinity" is not in the Bible, though the idea is plain enough.

Jesus is the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. All co-equal in their essence, power, authority, and being. Each is God, each is eternal, they only differ in their functions; although each has the works of the others attributed to them.

Some of the places that mention all three together are
Matthew 3:16-17
16 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him,
17 and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased."

Matthew 28:18-20
18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

There are others, but that's enough for here.

Good question, BTW.

Answer 6

The Holy Spirit is a part of the Holy Trinity with the Father and Son. (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirt). In the Old Testament the Hebrew word (ruwach, pronounced roo'-akh) was used when talking about the Spirit. This word literally means WIND, even the wind associated with a BREATHE! In the New Testament the Greek word (pneuma, pronounced pnyoo'-mah) was used which means the BREATHE or a BREEZE! We can literally think of the Holy Spirit as the "Breathe of God!"

Answer 7

According to the Creeds: The Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father and the Son"

St. Augustine said that the Holy Spirit was a personage of spirit - that existed from all time and that:

"The Father eternally loves the Son, and the Son eternally loves the Father, and that the love that passes (proceeds) from them is the Holy Spirit."

They are all three separate, they are all three God, without any difference of inequality.

Answer 8

The trinity is described as God the Father, God the Son, God the holy spirit. One God in three "expressions". Therefore they are separate and are all one at the same time.

Difficult to understand, but still true.

Answer 9

Matthew 1:18 - Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Matthew 1:20 - But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

Jesus was conceived in her of the Holy Ghost.

Matthew 3:11 - I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Jesus shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Matthew 12:31 - Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

Matthew 12:32 - And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

The blasphemy was that the jews said the miracles performed by Jesus were performed through the power of satan and denying the power of the Holy Ghost.

Matthew 28:19 - Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

We are baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

UG... I'm too tired for this right now... In short, I don't know... maybe I'll find out later today if I start to feel less tired.
